The air is becoming more crisp here in Maryland, and that is a sure sign of fall coming! This is absolutely one of my favorite seasons. The change in foliage, the cool weather, and of course my favorite part of fall are the yummy treats packed with comforting flavors. I’m thinking pumpkin, spice, apple, and one of my favorites… pecan! Growing up my mom always made us kids the most delicious treats and little bites that with one taste, you immediately knew it was fall.
Thinking of that memory, now I’m the one inspired, baking away in the kitchen. One of my favorite new products to use in my culinary creations are M&M’s® Pecan Pie flavored candies! (Pssst! If you love baking too, you’ll want to keep read to learn how you can win a Kitchenaid Mixer!).
Check out below for a detailed tutorial on how to create M&M’s® Pecan Pie Delights.
M&M’s® Pecan Pie Delights Recipe
Ingredients
9.9 oz bag of M&M’s® Pecan Pie (2/3 cup chopped)
2 tablespoons of Mott’s® Apple Sauce Original
Pillsbury™ Creamy Supreme® Cream Cheese Icing
1/3 cup of chopped pecans
1 egg
1 tablespoon of melted butter
1 3/4 tablespoon of sugar
1/4 teaspoon of vanilla
15 mini fillo shells
Directions
First you’ll want to preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, whip your egg until it is light and fluffy. Next add in the apple sauce, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla. Mix really well. Add in the chopped pecan and chopped M&M’s® Pecan Pie.
Mix until all the ingredients are coated well. Place your empty fillo shells on a baking sheet. Place a teaspoon of the pecan mixture in each shell.
Bake the treats in the oven for 10-15 minutes. Let them cool. This was the filling firms up inside the shell.
Once the delights have completely cooled, garnish them with the Cream Cheese icing. I like to put icing in a plastic bag, cut the tip, and use it to “spread” the icing that way.
Place an M&M’s® Pecan Pie atop each shell. Serve and enjoy! Such a delicious little bite of a treat.
Need something refreshing to enjoy with your fall themed treat? Snapple® has the answer! Their teas (oh and Snapple® Apple is delicious too!) are so refreshing. Plus I’m super excited to try the Fall Spice flavor, complete with an autumn harvest flair! It’s the perfect beverage to pair with these M&M’s® Pecan Pie Delights.
